Pros

Work from home. They send you Apple products to work with. Ok discounts.

Cons

It was pretty much like being on house arrest. Although you work from home, you still have to punch a clock. Breaks and lunches are scheduled, and if you don't take them when they're scheduled it messes up your productivity, metrics, etc. Then you are written up. None of the managers I had were knowledgeable about the products or services when I had a question. Was almost always directed to refer to Knowledge Base, because they could never help me or told to ask my peers in the team chatroom. Was made to feel like I am a bad person because I did not want to work overtime during holiday or product launch time. STD is a joke!!! Although the employee handbook outlines what can be taken, they pick and choose who and what they will approve. And heaven forbid you quit, they blackball you, and you're never allowed to work there again, even if you quit for personal family reasons. The customer's determine whether you can grow with the company or not, based upon surveys. Even if its clear the customer was unhappy about something you had no control over, if you took the call, you were responsible.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
